Well, yesterday I got my blood test results back, and they came back negative! I'm officially in remission for leukemia! My doctor said I'll be considered in remission for 2 years, but won't really consider me "cured" for about 5 years. If I make it two years without it coming back, I'm likely cured, but it's still possible for it to come back. After 5 years it'll be highly unlikely, though.I have to leave now, and I won't be back until Monday evening. Tonight and tomorrow I'm going to a spa resort with my mom and sisters (Rosalie and Courtney), and then on Monday my stylist is taking me shopping. GOD BLESS!!!

Los Angeles, California
Where do I begin? Well, August 2005 I was in West Palm Beach at my grandparents' house. Then Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans so we went to Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Texas to help with some stuff. Well not all of us, my dad, my uncle, my best friend Kelsie, and I went. We stayed there until mid-November. Then we went to New York, and November 17th was what would've been my cousin Elaine's 11th birthday (she died in 1996), so for her birthday we set red roses and her birth month flower (I forget what it's called, long name) by her grave and let off 11 balloons, each with her name on it.We always do that for my cousin Maya, too. And we had Thanksgiving in New York, watched the parade, then after Thanksgiving weekend we came back to L.A.. At first I mentioned that it felt weird decorating a palm tree for Christmas, but then Roselee pointed out that we've been in the Caribbean Islands for the past few Decembers, but still... lol. I probably won't be here on Christmas, but up until like...the 20th or 21st or something like that I think I will. I don't mind L.A. but it isn't my favorite. I'd rather be in Florida. I had an exam thingy at the hospital yesterdayit was weird, you take different intelligence tests and different physical tests and they had my real age on different things, it's kinda cool. This is what my results were:
December 4,2005
Age since conception: 13 years, 2 months
Age since birth: 12 years, 8 months, 0 weeks, 0 days
Age based on bone growth: 12 years, 4 months
Age based on intellect: 16 years, 10 months
Age based on personality: 14 years, 3 months
Isn't that cool?! When my mom and I saw the results I was like "Hey mom, since I'm intellectually almost 17 can I drive?" lol. Oh... my mom might be pregnant again. Seriously. But I'm not sure if she is, my parents were fighting one night so i listened outside their door as always, and my mom said she might be pregnant! Bethy is only 8 months old (today!!) ... if we had another baby, well my parents lol, she'd only be like 18 months old when the next baby was born. Actually... that's the age gap between me and Roselee and AJ and Courtney.... hmm.... that might work. Although, I love my sisters, but if they have another baby I'd kinda want a boy, because I have 3 sisters and only 1 brother. AJ needs a brother anyway, he's seeming like he's gonna grow up to be a p****.I know, bad language, but he is! He's a freaking pansy! lol. Courtney can even beat the heck out of him lol. Well... I need to go to bed now. I think I'll be able to update my diary thingy here more often because I'm less busy at the time.GOD BLESS!!!

I know it's been about 5 months since I've updated this but I've been busy. I was in Key West for the summer but Hurricane Dennis kind of ruined our house so we decided to stay with my grandparents in West Palm for the summer and fix our Key West house after hurricane season. As far as I know I'm staying in Florida until September or October. No idea where we're going after that. Oh and I'm looking at my last entry, my sister wasn't born in May. She was due May 1st but was born about a month early on April 5th. Her name's Elizabeth. Well I'm just checking in, all is well at the moment. GOD BLESS!!!

Cape Town, South Africa
I have some great news! Last night myparents told us that they were having another baby! I was surprised, because us four are all pretty close in age (I'm 11, Rosie's 10, Andrew's 7, and Courtney 6), but I guess it isn't THAT much of a difference. I love babies though, I'm so excited! The baby's due in May, and my mom is about 25 weeks pregnant. It's supposed to be a girl. Another baby sister. My parent's haven't decided on a name yet, but my mom likes Chelsea Elizabeth. I love Chelsea Elizabeth, but I really like Elizabeth Jane. I like Ella Grace too, that's actually my favorite one, but i'm saving it for when i'm grown up and have my own daughter. My sister Rosalie hasn't said much, I think she's kind of in shock. We all were, we thought they were done having kids. But they aren't very old, my mom turns 31 this Spring, and my dad 32. When they told us it was going to be a girl, my brother Andrew says, "mom, please tell me you're kidding!" The poor kid will have two older sisters and two younger sisters. My Sister Courtney started to cry a little bit, and then she crawled onto my mom's lap and said, "but mommy, then I won't be your baby anymore." Courtney doesn't really understand, she's been trying to convince my parents not to have another baby, while Andrew's just trying to convince them not to have another girl lol. Like I said, Rosalie's said hardly anything, she was quiet the rest of the night and went to bed early. I'm the only that's actually happy I think. I can see how Andrew wouldn't want it to be another girl, and how Courtney wouldn't want another baby since she's the youngest, but what's Rosalie's reason? I want to ask her, but I'm going to wait a few days. I want to let her get over the shock first. I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm getting another sister in May. GOD BLESS!!!
